CONNECTING
VETS TO BENEFITS

By Kathleen Merryman

Stewart Middle School
students have been putting
the thanks back into Thanksgiving this month.
The 516 students and
many of their families have
organized a food drive and
invited their neighbors to
contribute and celebrate
with them Thursday at Stewart Gives Back Night.
The centerpiece spaghetti dinner, principal Janet
Gates-Cortez noted, is not
your ordinary school spaghetti. This is the school
cook’s personal masterpiece,
the one that leaves diners
begging for the recipe.
First on the agenda was
assembling all the donated
non-perishable items into 25
food baskets. Kale Iverson’s
students will harvest fresh
kale, chard, beets and carrots from the school garden
to add with the turkeys next
week.
That’s where we can
kick in a little help. This is
the year of no cheap frozen
turkey sales, Gates-Cortez
noted. Just look at the grocery ads. So far, Stewart
has only two turkeys committed.
That leaves you eligible
to earn a prized Panther
Paw.
If you live in Stewart’s
East Side Neighborhood,
chances are you know all
about the Paw cards. Merchants and residents can
request a stack of them from
the school. Then, when they
see a Stewart student setting an example of kindness,
help and respect, they fill
out the card with the child’s
name, date and nature of the
worthy deed.
The cards have a lovely
effect on the children who
earn them, Gates-Cortez
said. Those comments tell
children that their neighbors
notice them, and respect and
like them. They tell them
that they are valuable citizens, and they encourage
them to continue on that
good path.
Bring a turkey, or money
to buy one, to Stewart early

WHAT’S RIGHT WITH TACOMA
By Kathleen Merryman

T

acoma Weekly’s entryway
is getting cluttered, and we
are over the moon about it.
Actually, we are at 2588
Pacific Hwy., between the
Harley Davidson dealership
and Meineke Car Care Center, but the boxes of
food, toys and, coming soon, socks, are sending our
hearts skyward.
Folks are stopping by with donations for Toys
for Tots, PCMARVETS, Charlie’s Dinosaur and
the Thanksgiving food basket drive organized by
Planting Seeds.
Never mind that two of those drives date back
to the spring and summer. Over the past year, we’ve
been loaded up with proof that Tacomans don’t
forget who needs help. If they know where to give,
they keep doing it. Just tell them where and when
and that it’s never too late.
Last November, the Tacoma Weekly staff
embarked on our first big community drive. We
asked you to keep alive what was then the 10th
annual citywide sock drive. It started a decade ago
a few days before Thanksgiving when Wes Wesley,
who ran the donations closet at Catholic Community Services’ Hospitality Kitchen, told me, “Socks.
Socks are like gold.”
Many, most, of the guests at Hospitality Kitchen,
Nativity House and the city’s other drop-in centers
get cold feet during the winter. They spend a lot of
time walking, and if their socks get wet, they stay
wet. Wet feet are beyond miserable. They are susceptible to disease that can lead to amputations.
Not to get too pragmatic here, but it’s in
taxpayers’ best interests to do whatever it takes
to help people of the street keep their feet. Given
that, good wool or polyester socks that wick
moisture away from the skin are, indeed, like gold.
So Wesley asked for the best for the poorest, and
you responded. Each year, you donated around
1,000 pairs of socks shared among drop-in centers,

Thinking big about
Black Friday, Zach Powers
let a few anti-megacorp
rants cycle through his
brain.
You know, the brawls
that break out when giant
retailers advertise smashing deals on electronics
and games to generate
“excitement,” then deliberately understock the
goods, and then send forth
PR people who say they
are shocked, shocked, that
customers fought over the
loot. Every year.
You know, the megamerchants that open so
early, if they close at all,
that a family Thanksgiving is but a fading dream
to their employees.
You know, the media
turning
Thanksgiving
weekend into an indicator
of whether we’re doing
our civic duty by buying
enough stuff to support
the economy.
Then Powers thought
small.
He thought about
Tacoma’s gutsy buy-local
movement, the shops and
people it supports and the
money it keeps in the area.
And he thought about
making it fun.
Powers
is
no
minimalist. He likes it
when people buy stuff,
from movie tickets to CDs.
He’s director of marketing
and communications for
The Grand Cinema. (Buy
the annual membership,
and popcorn by the

Tacoma has a tremendous pothole problem, and
the city knows it.
During the past couple of years, the city has
acknowledged this issue by spending millions of
dollars in major arterial repairs with the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
â&#x20AC;&#x153;pothole initiative.â&#x20AC;? And in 2010, routine maintenance
by Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grounds and Maintenance Division completed street repairs on 229,638 square feet of road.
In 2011, the city repaired about 150,000 more square
feet of road riddled with holiness, and continued those
efforts in 2012.
And while that may sound like a lot of ground,
new holes pop up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or return â&#x20AC;&#x201C; each and every day,
which means a pothole-free road might never exist in
Tacoma.
With the help of our readers and our dedicated
Pothole Pig, we will continue to showcase some of the
cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest and best potholes through our weekly
homage to one of T-Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most unnerving attributes.

suggestions to SaveOurStreets@tacomaweekly.com.

The Pierce County Coalition
for Developmental Disabilities (PC2)
has been assisting Pierce County
residents since 1995!

The Chevrolet Corvette SR2 was
a project car designed and built by
General Motors at the peak of its dominance at countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest automaker.
The company had annual revenues that
rivaled the gross national product of
many countries, some $13 billion a
year during the middle of the last century. It was Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest company,
more than double the runner up, Standard Oil.
So GM set out to make a â&#x20AC;&#x153;statement
car.â&#x20AC;? The Corvette was new to the market and it had yet to become the signature vehicle it is today. The Corvette is
the first all-American sports car built
by an American car manufacturer. The
SR2 helped craft that legend.
Zora Arkus-Duntov, known in
car circles as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;father of the Corvette,â&#x20AC;? crafted the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special Racingâ&#x20AC;?
or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sebring Racer,â&#x20AC;? with Chevroletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Chief Engineer Ed Cole, with the goal
of creating a car that could outrun the
competition.
The SR 1 was showcased at the
Daytona Speedweeks in February of

1956. Its V8 engine produced 240
horsepower and carried the car to an
average speed of 150.58 miles per
hour.
Fine-tuning and upgrades came
throughout that year and led to the SR2,
with inspiration from Jerry Earl, who
was head of GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s styling department
at the time and an automotive sports
car enthusiast. The SR-2 models had a
chassis similar to the Sebring cars, with
a body designed by Robert Cumberford
and Tony Lapine using inspiration from

TACOMA BECOMES FIRST
STAR-CERTIFIED COMMUNITY
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official. The Tacoma community is more sustainable
than some might expect with a rating of four out of five stars.
Tacoma is the first of 30 pilot communities to submit and
receive STAR certification, the first national community livability and sustainability rating system.
The quantitative assessment is robust. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of
Environmental Policy and Sustainability led the communitywide effort to collect and analyze more than 500 possible
areas of data-supported achievement across seven categories.
Tacoma performed particularly well under built environment;
climate and energy; education, arts and community; and
natural systems, leaving more room for improvement in the
economy and jobs, equity and empowerment and health and
safety categories.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the values of this assessment is its ability to quantify future progress. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to just be the first, we want
to be the best,â&#x20AC;? City Manager T.C. Broadnax said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have
work to do and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able use the STAR framework as a
tool towards improvement, but the validation also helps us to
redefine Tacoma by our successes.â&#x20AC;?
Local governments can use the rating system to evaluate,
quantify and promote livability and sustainability efforts. They
can also share expertise with each other. As other communities are certified, Tacomans will be able to see how Tacoma
benchmarks in apple-to-apple comparisons.
Mayor Marilyn Strickland accepted a certification plaque
during the National League of Cities conference in Seattle on
Nov. 16. She stated that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The STAR rating will help us identify gaps for improving the quality of life for our residents in a
variety of areas ranging from civic engagement to transportation and access to family-wage jobs.â&#x20AC;?
Other communities in our region going through the pilot
process include Portland, Seattle, King County and Vancouver
B.C. To learn more about the STAR Community Rating System, visit the STAR website at STARcommunities.org.

MAN CHARGED FOR KILLING GIRLFRIEND
Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Refugio Sanchez, Jr., 32, with Murder in the Second Degree for
beating his girlfriend, Angela Cannizzio, and strangling her to
death in their Lakewood home.
On the evening of Nov. 12, 2013, the defendant consumed
a six-pack of Bud Light and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shot of Bacardiâ&#x20AC;? after returning
home from work at Joint Base Lewis McChord. The defendant
and the victim began arguing about the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estranged husband, who lives in Connecticut. The defendant became angry
and struck the victim twice with an upright vacuum, including
one blow to the back of her head. He then dragged her limp
body down the stairs by her legs. The defendant said the victim
appeared to be unconscious and that â&#x20AC;&#x153;she was like a rag doll.â&#x20AC;?
At the bottom of the stairs, he slammed the victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face into
the floor and strangled her to death.
After being booked into jail, the defendant was anxious to
take a shower, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get this out from under
my fingernails.â&#x20AC;?
The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be
strangulation and blunt force trauma to the head. The victim
suffered multiple injuries including a lacerated liver, broken
rib and fractured hyoid. She leaves behind two children, ages
2 and 13.
The defendant was arraigned and bail was set at $1 million. Charges are only allegations and a person is presumed
innocent unless he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt.

This year’s goal is 150,000 pounds of

Social media rallies Hilltop neighbors in fear of ‘backsliding’
By Steve Dunkelberger
stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

It is a case that most fits
the “old Hilltop” of the 1980s,
when the neighborhood was
plagued with drug dealers,
gang shootings, street-corner
love brokers and random gun
shots in the night. But senseless violence struck again this
month, and neighbors are worried.
Justin Winter and his fiancée Mishele Dupree were walking with a group of friends earlier this month, when a group
of about 20 teens started yelling at them from the corner
of Martin Luther King Jr. Way
and 19th Street. The gaggle
of teens then jumped Winters,
hitting and kicking him to the
ground because he had apparently slighted a female member
of the group a few days prior by
refusing to give her a cigarette.
“All of a sudden I see five
guys stomp my friend in the
face,” witness Nikki Weather-

police officials to talk about what they believe is a rise in
crime in their once troubled neighborhood.

head said. “I don’t want to live
in a neighborhood where that
goes unnoticed.”
They kept kicking as he fell
to the concrete. His jaw shattered by the time the beat down
ended.

The victims called police.
And they waited, and waited
and waited.
The group has been seen at
the corner several times since
Winter and Dupree were told
the case was “under investiga-

tion.” They waited.
Then they took to Facebook
and told their story. Hilltop residents wanted action, and some
suggested vigilante solutions.
Others circulated a petition to
reopen the Hilltop Police Substation in hopes it would boost
patrols of the Upper Tacoma
neighborhood.
A community meeting with
Tacoma Police Department top
brass and Hilltop Action Coalition (HAC) gathered Monday
night, Nov. 18, to find solutions
for what some fear is a return
of the violent days of the neighborhood’s distant past despite
Hilltop having the lowest crime
rate in Tacoma, according to
statistics on reported crimes
per capita.
“We aren’t setting off the
police alarms,” HAC organizer
Lisa Lawrence said. “We know
that people are scared. We know
that people are concerned, and
we know that people are frustrated.”

Old rockers apparently never
die; they just get weird. That is the
lesson we take from a Nov. 18 case
in Tacoma. A man apparently went
to band practice and decided it was
a good idea to buy a 24-ounce beer
for the 19-year-old grandson of a
woman he used to date. The teen
got drunk. The two went to the
teen’s apartment on the 4000 block
of Lawrence Street. His family was
not pleased with his intoxicated
state and began to argue with the
older wanna-be rock star. Police
were called. He went to jail with a
questioning look about why he was
being arrested. He fought the law,
and the law won.
The buyer of a used car from a
lot along the 6400 block of South
Tacoma Way was having a bit of
buyer’s remorse on Nov. 18, when
his 1998 Mercury was reportedly
having engine troubles just a day
after he purchased it “as is.”
The man returned to the dealership in the afternoon and demanded
mechanics fix it. None were available. That was news he didn’t want
to hear. He reportedly “hocked
up a loogie” in his throat and spit
a slime blob into the sales clerk’s
face. That prompted a call to the
police. Police handcuffed the man.
He was later release with a citation
for assault.

GO COUGS! A roster of 22 Foss High School seniors received early acceptance notices from Washington State University

this week. A total of six students were accepted last year.
By Steve Dunkelberger
stevedunkel@tacomaweekly.com

Washington State University recruiters held early admission acceptance ceremonies around Tacoma High Schools this
week to award admission letters to the top
students with thoughts of wearing crimson
and gray next year.
Mount Tahoma has 13 students accepted under early admission; Lincoln has
about 30; Stadium has 20 and Wilson has
about 15. But the big story this year is at
Foss, where 22 of the 35 early applying
students received acceptance letters. Foss
only had six Pullman-bound prospects last
year. Counselors are now working with the
remaining 13 students to reapply by the
official deadline on Jan. 1.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea with them is to give them a
jump start in the process and work with
them on what they need to do,â&#x20AC;? WSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Assistant Director of Regional Enrollment
Sativah Jones said, noting that she is a 2004
Foss grad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These students are way ahead

of the game as far as that is concerned.â&#x20AC;?
The Foss students who received early
notification of acceptance to Washington State University are: Sarah Sachs,
Alan Ngo, Darren Yann, Marcus Anthony
Ransom, Bailey Dugan, Jessica Orozco,
Cameo Miller, Daniel Phung, Jaysha
Wharton, Jonathan Thomas, Laura Dittell,
Kylie Thornton, Jenny Dittell, Savannah
Gregory, Cenecia Hopkins, Emani Donaldson, Brianna Fenske, Jeanelle Vega, Bao
Nguyen, Phu-Lam Pham, Michael Cabrera
and Jennifer Hoang.
Most of them are expecting other acceptance letters through the holiday season,
but the WSU notification starts the college decision making. Such is the case
for Sachs, a Regents Scholarship student
along with Miller. Sachs is also looking at
schools in New England, including Wellesley College to gain training for a career
in something related to math and science
education.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds clichĂŠ, but I really want to
make a difference in the world,â&#x20AC;? Sachs

said.
While the WSU acceptance marks the
first of many letters to come for these
students, it is the only one that matters for
Donaldson and Hopkins. They have talked
about being roommates at WSU since they
were freshmen. They have been friends
their entire lives and want to share their
college experiences after their high school
graduation. They have it all planned out.
They will live in a dormitory for the first
year, someplace with big bathrooms.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it has to be co-ed, of course,â&#x20AC;?
Donaldson said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the full college experience,â&#x20AC;?
Hopkins chimed in with a laugh.
They plan to get an apartment together
once they become sophomores as Donaldson studies communications and Hopkins
seeks her criminal justice or education
degree.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both of us are first generation college
students so getting into any school is a big
accomplishment for the whole family,â&#x20AC;?
Donaldson said.

Despite the recent assault and
a few other crimes, she said, the
neighborhood, the most diverse in
the city, will stay safe if people get
involved by watching after their
neighbors and calling police whenever they suspect crime.
Much of the Monday meeting
echoed those thoughts. Neighbors
need to know each other, and they
need to watch out for each other.
And they have to share their stories.
And they need to stay vigilant.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local residents took back the
streets of Hilltop block by block
from gangs and violence back in
the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, creating what is now
one of, if not the, safest neighborhoods in Tacoma,â&#x20AC;? stated Lawrence
in her meeting announcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To
allow it to backslide would disrespect the hard work of those brave
individuals. We owe it to those who
fought, as well as future generations, to continue our vigilance.â&#x20AC;?
Tacoma Police Chief Donald
Ramsdell was a beat cop â&#x20AC;&#x153;back in
the day.â&#x20AC;? He remembers pulling
cars over for crimes only to hear
gun shots a block away during
the arrest. Those days are largely
gone because neighbors back then
said enough was enough and got
involved in their community.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public safety is not a spectatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Will Washington be big in Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumbo jet future?
By Don C. Brunell
When the first passengers took off
in Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 747 in 1970, the aircraft
was dubbed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Queen of the Skies.â&#x20AC;?
Since then, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mammoth
plant just south of Everett has been
the kingpin of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumbo jet
production.
To date, Boeing has built 1,500
747s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of them designed and
assembled in Washington.
In 1994, the company launched the
777. Developed in consultation with
eight major airlines, it was designed
to replace older wide-body airliners
and offer passenger capacity between
that of the 767 and the 747.
The 777 was a technical marvel. It
was Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first fly-by-wire airliner
(electric motors to move flaps)
and the first commercial aircraft
designed entirely by computer. It
too was designed and assembled in
Washington.
But things are changing.
Just as Boeing competes headto-head with Airbus in the jumbo
jet market, Washington is competing
with South Carolina and other parts
of the country to assemble the next
generation of jumbo jets.
Nowhere is that rivalry more
evident than the next generation of
Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 777: the 777X.
The stakes are high for everyone.
Boeing employs more than 86,500
people in Washington, averaging
$120,000 a year in salary and
benefits. In addition, the company
spends more than $4.6 billion a year

on purchases from 2,000 suppliers
and vendors in the state. But over the
years, Boeing has shifted engineering
and operations and thousands of jobs
out of Washington.
To stem that tide, Gov. Jay Inslee
(D) convened a legislative task force
to find ways to make our state more
attractive for Boeing to build the
777X here.
The governor has reason to be
concerned. At the Paris Air Show last
spring, Boeing announced that the
777X and the newer, larger 787-10
might be assembled elsewhere. The
prime candidate is South Carolina.
One big factor is the high cost
of doing business in Washington.
The governor asked lawmakers to
find ways to address those costs and
provide tax incentives to offset them.
Legislators are also asked to address
environmental regulations, workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
compensation costs, and education
and training â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expenses that impact
all employers and local governments
in Washington.
The 777X could determine our
stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in future jumbo jet
production.
Using 20 percent less fuel than
the current 777, the 777X will be the
first twin-engine jet able to fly longhaul routes with payloads comparable
to the larger jumbos. According to
Bloombergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s News Service, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
likely to accelerate airlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shift
away from mammoth, four-engine
fuel-guzzlers such as Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest
747-8 and Airbusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double-decker
A380.

Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order backlog with 777s
has swelled to nearly 350 while it has
just under 60 747s yet to build. So
the preference is clearly in the 777â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
direction.
The 777X will borrow composite
technology from Boeingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 787
Dreamliner. That is good news for
us, because that technology has been
perfected in Washington. But Boeing
is maximizing its flexibility â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and
its options â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by placing composite
technology in South Carolina as well.
Remember, the 787 is assembled in
both Everett and Charleston.
The location of the new 777X is
also important because the winning
site will have an edge as Boeing
develops its future aircraft.
The stakes are high for Boeing as
well, because global competition is
getting tougher.
While Boeing and Airbus are
going head-to-head today, in the
future, Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese
and Russian aircraft manufacturers
will compete for a greater share of the
commercial airplane market. Boeing
estimates that between now and 2031,
the fleet of passenger aircraft will
double.
If our state is going to keep those
high-paying aerospace jobs, we need
to take a serious look at the cost
factors that Boeing, and for that
matter, other manufacturers face in
this increasingly competitive world.

Pay attention to teachers who bully
By Laura Finley, Ph.D.
While bullying between school
children has rightly received much
attention in recent years, other types
of school-based bullying are rarely
discussed. Bullying of students by
their teachers remains a significant
problem and is every bit as dangerous
as peer-to-peer bullying.
Teacher-on-student bullying takes
many forms, ranging from physical
to verbal and emotional abuse. Like
youth bullies, teachers are most likely
to pick on students they perceive
as vulnerable. Teachers can take
advantage of the inordinate amount
of power they have over students
and can generally feel safe that they
will face no repercussions, as school
systems are set up by adults and
supposedly any and all â&#x20AC;&#x153;disciplineâ&#x20AC;?
is for the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;own good.â&#x20AC;? Parents
and administrators often do not
believe students who report that their
teacher is a bully. There are no tools
specifically designed to measure
teacher-on-student bullying, while
there is a plethora of surveys and
other data sets about youth bullying.
Sometimes, however, incidents
of teacher-on-student bullying do
make the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teaching Toleranceâ&#x20AC;?
featured a story in fall 2011 about a
teacher who encouraged her class to
make pig noises at a boy she thought
needed to be more organized. That

same fall, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today Showâ&#x20AC;? aired a
video of a teacher berating a special
needs student for her appearance and
her class performance. The tape was
captured when the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents sent
her to school wearing a wire. On
the tape, the teacher swears, verbally
humiliates the girl, and throws a chair
around the room.
In October 2012, another teacher
embarrassed a six-year-old boy who
kept twirling his hair by tying it into
pigtails in front of the class. Later that
year, an elementary school teacher
encouraged students to spit at a 9-yearold who had made a â&#x20AC;&#x153;raspberryâ&#x20AC;? at a
classmate, while a New York City
math teacher was â&#x20AC;&#x153;reassignedâ&#x20AC;? to
administrative duty for swatting at and
spitting at students. Students claimed
that this was a regular occurrence
that just happened to be caught on
video. In June 2013 the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Huffington
Postâ&#x20AC;? reported about a Florida science
teacher who harassed his students by
writing test questions like this one: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A
50 kg student has a momentum of 500
kg m/s as the teacher launches him
toward the wall, what is the velocity
of the student heading toward the
wall?â&#x20AC;?
Policies at many schools allow this
type of abuse. Corporal punishment
remains an option for school districts
in 20 states, despite decades of research
showing that it is harmful to students
and counterproductive. In their 1999

VISIT US ON FACEBOOK

book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dangerous Schools,â&#x20AC;? Irwin
Hyman and Pamela Snook document
the stories of students who were hurt
so badly by a teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paddling that
they began hemorrhaging. Students
told them horror stories about being
beaten with all kinds of implements,
often in front of others so as to
maximize the humiliation, all with
the approval of the school district.
They also told stories of other types
of degradation, such as when teachers
refused to allow them to use bathroom
facilities and they were forced to
urinate on themselves.
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong: Most teachers
do not do these things. Most teachers
work hard and care deeply for their
students. It is also true, however, that
most students do not bully anyone,
either. Yet we still work to end the
problem of bullying because we know
how awful it is, both in the short and
long term. I believe that we must
also critically examine teacher-onstudent bullying as well, including
those policies that endorse abusive
behavior. If we do not, our silence
says that bullying is OK as long as
the perpetrator stands in front of the
classroom.

to the editor. You can e-mail us at
news@tacomaweekly.com. Please

phone number when submitting
your letter.

As houses around the 253 fill with the scent of
baked pies and roasting turkeys for Thanksgiving,
ponder the fact that there are many of your neighbors
who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have pies cooking in the oven, or hams
roasting on a fire or a roof to shelter them from the
rain.
Official statistics state that about 12 percent of
Pierce County residents live below the poverty line,
but that stat might be much higher because of the
chronic trouble of underreporting of such things. In
any event, there are a lot of people in need as the
economy continues to flounder and jobs, even if
they are available, fail to make ends meet for many
families.
That fact makes the holidays particularly stiff since
heating bills go up as the thermometer level drops, and
children are out of school for holiday break, which
creates child care expenses or lost work hours for
parents while society demands a culture of spending
and gift giving. Toss in the expenses of a persistent
cough or a slip on an icy road, and the balance tips
against a lot of paycheck-to-paycheck neighbors.
But there are many ways to help your neighbors in
need. Businesses, including the Tacoma Weekly, are
gathering food and supplies. So drop a few cans of
soup in the collection bins or a few dollars into the
collection baskets. Maybe even donate some time to
aid the effort and see the need first hand.
Another effort to watch is Emergency Food
Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Empty Bowls event this weekend.
Groups and individual artists decorate bowls for sale
with all the proceeds going to efforts to aid the needy.
Empty Bowls began as a grassroots project more
than a decade ago for local artists and community
members to work together to assist people suffering
from hunger. The event now spans to 12 countries and
many states across the U.S., generating millions of
dollars for various hunger relief agencies.
Bowl buyers then get them filled with soups
of all sorts, donated by Pacific Grill, The Swiss,
Adriatic Grill, Infinite Soups, AmeRAWcan Bistro,
The French Hen, The Hub, Masa, Alina Soups, and
Chambers Bay.
More than 1,200 bowls are purchased for the home
or for holiday gifts, and more than 700 bowls of soup
are consumed during the two-hour event. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23, at Charles
Wright Academy from 1-3:30 p.m. Admission is free.
Bowl prices start at $10 and go up from there.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Empty Bowls has an exciting new
element, an Empty Bowls Cookbook. This cookbook
contains more than 50 soup recipes from local
restaurants, elected officials and executive directors
of nonprofit organization from around Pierce County.
The cookbook will be sold at Empty Bowls for $20 per
book, with all proceeds going to EFN. For the last 14
years, EFN has hosted Empty Bowls in Pierce County,
highlighting works from talented veteran artists and
new local talent. In 2012, EFN raised $28,000 from
Empty Bowls, this is the equivalent of 148,965 meals
for food-insecure Pierce County residents.
In 2012, EFN distributed 15.1 million pounds of
food to 67 area food banks, meal sites and shelters.
EFN made it possible for our partner food programs
to accommodate 1,381,602 total visits, providing 16.7
million meals to hungry people in Pierce County.
Since 2008, the demand for emergency food has
increased 67 percent.
With an administrative overhead of under 4 percent,
EFN distributes $12 worth of food for every $1 it
receives, so a little really goes a long way.
The above opinion represents the view of Tacoma
Weeklyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s editorial board.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor,
The gift from Bank of America for the food banks
is very timely (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bank of America gives $200,000 to
FISH Food Banks,â&#x20AC;? TW, Nov. 15.) The food banks
are being called on more than ever. There were one in
five children having â&#x20AC;&#x153;food insecurityâ&#x20AC;? even before the
Nov. 1 cut back in the food stamps program due to the
stimulus monies expiring. Now even more cuts are on
the horizon with the proposals in the new Farm Bill.
But what are the underlying causes? Poor wages, no
jobs, just to name a few. Citizens, time to contact your
legislators and ask them to do something about this. But
while they are answering the causes question, tell your
elected officials to feed the hungry!

own two touchdowns with less
than four minutes to play,
most
teams
would cash it
in. But Bellarmine Prep pulled off
some familiar playoff magic, rallying to score 17 points in the final
three minutes – capped by a 20-yard
field goal by Matthew Philichi with
nine seconds remaining – for a 38-35
win at Newport on Nov. 16 in the 4A
state playoffs.
“We’ve played a lot of games like
this,” said Lions senior quarterback
Lou Millie, referencing some hardfought playoff victories in recent
years. “This is just like usual for us.
We’ve got a lot of heart, and we want
to stay together as long as we can, so
that’s why we play like this.”
The Lions trailed 35-21 after
Newport quarterback J.P. Routen
connected with tight end Drew Sample for a 54-yard touchdown pass
off a play action with 11:13 to go in
the game.
But Millie began the comeback
effort two drives later, finding Garrett McKay – who finished with
14 catches for 232 yards and three
touchdowns – on a deep post rout
for a 57-yard touchdown. That cut it
to 35-27, after Philichi’s extra point
was wide left.
The Lions forced a quick threeand-out, and a 10-yard punt gave
Bellarmine Prep the ball at the Newport 35-yard line. Millie connected
with McKay on a 27-yard pass, and
Jamal Ervin scored from three yards
out – his second touchdown of the
game – on the next play. Millie then
connected with Drew Griffin, who
made an acrobatic catch to haul in
the two-point conversion and tie it
35-35.
“They have realized that it
doesn’t matter what is going on,
just go hard,” said Bellarmine Prep
head coach Tom Larsen. “They have
bought into (the belief that) the
scoreboard doesn’t tell you how to
play, your heart does. And they did
that.”
After stopping Newport on three
plays the next drive, Millie tackled
the Knights’ David Kim three yards
short of a first down on a fake punt
attempt, giving Bellarmine Prep the
ball at Newport’s 37-yard line with
under a minute left. He hit Griffin
for a 24-yard strike to set up the
game-winner by Philichi.

swim during the 200-yard freestyle at
the 3A state swim meet on Nov. 16.
By Jeremy Helling
jeremy@tacomaweekly.com

The 3A state meet was the final piece
of business for Foss swimmer Emma Chard
before preparing for her college career at
Boise State. And the Falcons’ senior didn’t
disappoint, winning the 100-yard freestyle
in an All-American time of 50.17 seconds
on Nov. 16 at the Weyerhaeuser King County
Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
“It’s been really fun this season,” Chard
said shortly after leading off the meet with a
14th place finish in the 200-yard medley relay
with seniors Sarah Sachs and Yana Kuloff and
sophomore Nicole Ripley. “(I’ve) kind of been
sad and happy at the same time. (But) I’m
excited for this.”
Chard added a second-place finish in the
100-yard breaststroke, finishing in a time of
one minute and 3.89 seconds that earned AllAmerican consideration.
Despite being hampered by a stress fracture
in her foot early in the season, Sachs added a
tenth-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke
in a time of 1:00.53, and placed 13th in the
200-yard freestyle to help the Falcons finish
12th as a team with 54 points.
“My first year as the girls coach was their
freshman year,” said Falcons head coach Matt
Wood. “It’s really been fun to see them grow
from these little girls, and every year see them
improve and improve…it’s been really fulfilling and fun to experience that with them and
be a part of it.”
Wilson sophomore Madeleine Dodge
helped the Rams score 15 points to finish
28th, as she placed 15th in the 200-yard freestyle relay and teamed with Karli Stevenson,
Rachel Duke and Kelly Tran to take 20th in
the 400-yard freestyle relay. Wilson senior
Hailey Viehmann took sixth in the diving
competition with a score of 302.15. Dodge
also took 21st in the 500-yard freestyle relay,
while Stevenson placed 22nd in the 200-yard
individual medley.

Griffin (10) fends off Newport’s Michael Caliboso after making a catch in the
win.

Freshman Kaycee Simpson helped lead the
Stadium Tigers at the 4A state meet, placing
14th in the 200-yard individual medley and
16th in the 100-yard butterfly to score four of
the Tigers’ six points. She later teamed with
fellow freshman Cameron Thurston, sophomore Mellanie Muller and senior Amber
Longrie to place 16th in the 200-yard freestyle relay in a time of one minute and 44.13
seconds. Longrie also teamed with senior
Hannah Fransman, junior Katelyn Michael
and sophomore Jensine Rasmussen to place
24th in the 200-yard medley relay.
Curtis, meanwhile, scored 58 points to
place 14th overall as a team. Senior Hannah
Holly led the way for the Vikings, taking sixth
in the 100-yard freestyle in a time of 54.13
seconds. Freshman Willow Lopez-Silvers narrowly missed advancing to the “A” final, taking ninth in the 100-yard freestyle in 54.23
seconds. The duo teamed with Jessica Wilson
and Jenna Postma to place seventh in the 200yard freestyle relay in a time of one minute
and 41.74 seconds. Holly, Postma, Wilson and
Emma Friedman rounded out the meet with
an 11th-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle
relay.

The final hurdle toward
back-to-back titles proved to be
the biggest challenge for Bellarmine Prep. Getting pushed
to five sets for the first time all
season, the Lions outlasted Curtis 25-22, 18-25, 25-17, 19-25,
15-9 in the 4A state volleyball championship on Nov. 16
at Saint Martin’s University to
win the crown for the second
straight year.
“This was the right team to
do it with, if any,” said Bellarmine Prep head coach Jody
DeGroot. “These girls had to do

a lot of work, not just working
on the court every day but they
had to work with their heads a
lot. Those little things pay off.”
Narrows 4A MVP Courtney
Schwan was again the catalyst
for the Lions, finishing with
a team-high 25 kills. But she
was matched, and then some,
by Vikings senior outside hitter
Janell Sparks, who kept Curtis
in the match with 32 kills.
The Vikings embraced the
challenge against the state’s top
team from the start, blocking

lead in the first set before sophomore Camryn Buell followed
with an ace. Camryn and Taylor
Buell helped lead the Vikings’
defensive effort on the day, consistently diving for digs to keep
plays alive.
“They were getting up every
single thing we put down,”
Schwan said. “It was definitely
a challenge every point. It was
never a one-ball kill. It’s a lot
more fun that way.”
The Lions regained the lead
at 17-16 in the first set on a kill
by sophomore Megan Jacobsen,
and Claire Martin and Emily
Newberry teamed to close it
with a block.
But Sparks responded in
the second set, collecting three
early kills to help the Vikings to
a 10-5 lead, and adding five kills

in the final ten points to help the
Vikings close it out.
The Lions never trailed in
the third set, as Jacobsen collected five of her 10 kills to
give Bellarmine a 13-7 lead, and
freshman McKenzie Schwan
extended it to 19-11 with backto-back aces. Martin and Newberry again ended the set with
a block.
“That’s like a Division III
(college) team,” said Curtis head
coach Michael Miller of the
Lions. “They’re awesome. Their
third gear is everyone else’s fifth
gear. It’s hard to keep that focus
and momentum for the entire
time.”
Trailing 9-8 in the fourth set,
Sparks slammed three straight
kills to ignite a 10-1 run to give
the Vikings control, and later

ended the set with a kill to even
the match.
But the Lions bounced
back in the final set, as Martin
began with a block and a kill by
Reghan Pukis quickly made it
5-1. Sparks later had three kills
in the span of five points to pull
the Vikings within 12-8, but
Schwan responded with a powerful slam and Newberry ended
the match with a block.
“Our (middle hitters) definitely lit up this match,” Schwan
said. “I was very proud of them.
You couldn’t stop them this
match. That was wonderful.”
Martin finished with six kills
and seven blocks, while Newberry added five kills and six
blocks for the Lions. Senior Jessica Woodruff tallied 13 kills
and a block for Curtis.

Lutheran 1-0 on Nov. 16 in Thousand Oaks, Calif., as freshman
midfielder Jill Shimabuku struck
for her first collegiate goal off a
corner kick by Jordyn McLuen in
the 102nd minute to provide the
game-winner. The Loggers outshot
Cal Lutheran 12-10 in the match,
and Casey Thayer and Lauren
Thomas made two saves apiece in
goal for Puget Sound.
Amalia Acorda-Fey provided
the late dramatics in a 1-0 win
over Hardin-Simmons in the second round on Nov. 16, striking
for her team-leading ninth goal of
the season in the 102nd minute.
The Loggers mustered just three
shots on target in the match, and
Thomas came up with four saves
to help preserve the shutout. It
was the 15th straight win for the
Loggers, with the last six victories

coming via shutouts.
The Loggers move on to face
Washington (Mo.) in the third
round on Nov. 23 at 9 a.m. at
Francis Field in St. Louis, Mo.

LOGGER MEN ELIMINATED
The Puget Sound menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team won its first match, but
fell in the second round to be
eliminated from the Division III
Tournament on Nov. 16-17 in San
Antonio, Texas.
The Loggers took a 2-1 win
in overtime over Hardin-Simmons
on Nov. 16, as Vincent McCluskey
scored off a cross from Eneko Bereziartua in the 96th minute for the
game-winner. Sam Zisette had gotten the Loggers out to a 1-0 lead
in the 17th minute, scoring off an
assist by Carson Swope. But the
Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Colyn Moore answered

The Pacific Lutheran volleyball
team fell to No. 13 Augsburg in
four sets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 16-25, 24-26, 25-19,
18-25 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in their Division III Tournament opener on Nov. 14 in Saint
Paul, Minn. to be eliminated.
Allison Wood led the way with
13 kills for the Lutes, while Lucy
Capron added 12 kills and Samantha North totaled 49 assists.
Amber Aguiar tallied 13 digs to
set the record for digs in a single
season, surpassing the 583 put
up by Rachelle Swondon in 1993.
Ashley Peper had a game-high 21
kills for the Auggies.
The Lutes finish the season
with a 19-6 overall record, having
won the Northwest Conference
title with a 15-1 record.

FLYTE QUALIFIES FOR
NATIONAL MEET
University of Puget Sound
senior Kathryn Flyte finished fifth
in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6K race at the
NCAA Division III West Regionals
on Nov. 16 in Claremont, Calif. to
advance to the NCAA Championships.
Flyte finished in a time of 22
minutes and 20.84 seconds, and
becomes the first Logger womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
runner to compete at the national
meet since Haley Walker in 2009.
The Loggersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men took seventh
as a team at regionals, as Justin
Bigelow and Joshua Seekatz finished 31st and 32nd, respectively. Pacific Lutheran senior Alan
DenAdel finished 30th individually
to represent the Lutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men with
a time of 26 minutes and 22.18

Newport had raced out
to a 21-0 lead early in the
second quarter, as Routen
hit Sample for a 51-yard
touchdown on the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
first drive and Conner Baumann exploded for touchdown runs of 53 and 54
yards. Routen finished
6-for-7 for 212 yards and
two touchdowns, and Baumann finished with 22 carries for 169 yards and three
touchdowns. But Bellarmine Prep limited Baumann
to just nine carries for 29
yards in the second half.

LAKES BLANKED BY
MEADOWDALE

It couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have started much worse for Lakes
against Meadowdale. The
Lancers committed turnovers on their first two
drives, and lost quarterback
Nick Webster to an early
knee injury on their way to
a season-ending 24-0 loss
to the Mavericks in the 3A
state playoffs on Nov. 15
at Edmonds-Woodway High
School.
Webster was intercepted by Josiah Evans on the
third play of the game, and
the Mavericks converted it
into a 34-yard field goal by
Brett Schafer. Then, after
scrambling for 46 yards on
the first play of the second

drive, Webster was pushed
out of bounds and came up
hobbling. He left the game
with what appeared to be a
serious knee injury.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the heart and soul
of our team,â&#x20AC;? said Lakes
head coach Dave Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It
really sent our kids for a
loop. We were reeling. We
made a lot of mistakes. We
played so well last week and
just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it tonight.â&#x20AC;?
A botched handoff by
Caleb Lyons was recovered
by the Mavericksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Marzel
Simmons three plays later,
and Malik Braxton scored
on a 1-yard touchdown run
to make it 10-0 with 5:10
to go in the first quarter.
Meadowdale forced a quick
three-and-out defensively,
and was in the end zone
again with 22 seconds to
go in the first quarter on
a 1-yard quarterback sneak
by Jeremiah Evans.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That first quarter kind
of told the tale right there,â&#x20AC;?
Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids in
the second half battled a lot
harder and played with a lot
of pride, so I was proud of
them.â&#x20AC;?
Kemonee Jenkins led
the Lancers downfield early
in the second quarter with
two long runs, but the drive
stalled out and the Lancers
had to punt. Jenkins was
intercepted by Jimmie Bruders on the third play of the

next drive, and Evans connected with Charlie White
on a 14-yard touchdown
pass with five seconds to
go in the first half to cap a
14-play, 54-yard drive.
Robert Reiten came on
at quarterback in the third
quarter for Lakes, but was
intercepted on the second
play of the first drive and
later lost a fumble. Meadowdale, meanwhile, began
running down the clock
behind running back Rory
Spillum, who finished with
34 carries for 118 yards.
The Lancers had their
best chance to score after
recovering Spillumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fumble
at their own 43-yard line and
marching inside the Meadowdale 10-yard line early
in the fourth quarter. But
sophomore Jaiave Magalei
â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Lancersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth quarterback â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was pressured on

For the past nine years, Pit
Stop Deli has been a quiet success, offering loyal customers delicious, hefty submarine sandwiches
for a great price. Located at 1820
E. Portland Ave., owner Lisette
Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile food truck has reliably provided hungry truck drivers
and workers with a quick, hearty
lunch option. Although Clark has
no formal experience in restaurants, she attributes the success of
the deli so far to hard work, long
hours and lots of practice.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We buy everything fresh, and
use only the highest quality meats,â&#x20AC;?
she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be hungry
to eat here.â&#x20AC;?
The restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster of regular
customers continues to grow, mainly by word-of-mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have
gotten to know our customers very
well,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have gotten
to the point where we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need
big signs outside. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown by

Pit Stop Deli has ample space
to sit down in the deliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enclosed
seating area, equipped with two
large picnic tables for customers
who want to take a break from the
grind. Pit Stop Deli is open for
breakfast (served from 5-10 a.m.)
and lunch, and also offers a full
espresso bar using sweet, freshly
roasted Madrona Coffee.
Customers can avoid the daily
lunch rush by calling in orders
ahead of time. Many Pit Stop regulars have come to learn the deliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
daily specials, but Clark makes sure

to mix it up every so often. Regular specials include Taco Tuesday,
Reubens on Thursdays, tuna and
clam chowder on Fridays, and usually meatball subs on Mondays.
Some of the most popular sandwiches include The George (turkey, ham roast beef, provolone and
cheddar, toasted, $7.50), Johnnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Sub (a breakfast sub with mayonnaise, tomatoes, egg, bacon,
cheese and original sausage, $6),

Phoenix Housing Network and Pierce

This year, all Emergency Food
Network and FISH Food Banks are
joining the drive. The new socks you
take to your local food bank will stay
in your neighborhood.
Last year, Communities in Schools
joined the drive, and broadened the
range of great socks to share. With a
place for every sort of footwear, we
counted 2,920 pairs, including cute
pairs for little kids, athletic socks and
socks for work. And those were only
the ones we counted. Hundreds more
went directly to services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and onto
happy feet.
We learned, too, how much fun
people had when they joined the
drive. Students at Franklin Elementary School turned it into a contest. St.
Matthew Episcopal Church parishioners trimmed their tree with socks.
City of Tacoma employees set up
drop boxes in their departments, and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus is on preventing bullying and supporting giving back,â&#x20AC;?
Gates-Cortez said. Stewart Gives Back
Night is part of it, as are neighborhood
screenings and discussions of an antibullying film so powerful that Gates
refers to it simply as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Film.â&#x20AC;?
Lawyers, real estate agents, police,
Safe Streets groups, Catholic Religous
sisters, Gibson Gardens residents and
Pacific Avenue merchants, including
Josefinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mexican restaurant have gotten involved with Stewart through the

grant, Gates-Cortez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been like
getting a big hug.â&#x20AC;?
And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are seeing big changes in
behavior. Kids are more settled,â&#x20AC;? she
said.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the norm now that when Stewart
kids go on a field trip, the feedback
is about how attentive and courteous
they are.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a powerful change, and one we
can support with something as simple
as a frozen turkey.

Those members of the Marine
Corps League work with the state
Department of Social and Health Services caseworkers who enroll kids on
the eligibility list. The social workers
are the contact people for families.
And they collaborate with Pierce
County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department deputies, including. Det. Ed Troyer. Troyer, the department spokesman who
goes on television with the details of
all our bad news, has a semi-secret
life spreading good works. His connections at Port of Tacoma alert him
when shipments of toys are bound for
surplus. His friends in the community
look forward to the fun of joining the
drive that dates back to 1947.
And fun it can be. Last year,
Troyer combined monetary donations, summoned teams of elves and
gave them each a $500 VISA card
and challenged them to spend it on
the best possible deals within five
hours.
This year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming at giving $40,000 worth of toys to needy
children in the South Sound.

TOYS FOR TOTS

If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extort your family
for socks for cold feet, what can you
extort from them?
Toys For Tots, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what.
That brings us to the other boxes
in our lobby now.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thrilled to join the 80-plus
drop sites throughout Pierce County
as a Toys For Tots collection site.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to work with the
people who run the show, the Marine
Corps League Detachment #504, with
George Hight as volunteer coordinator. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a Tacoma Weekly reader
and Hightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name sounds familiar, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
because he and Kelley Byers founded
PCMARVETS, which connects veterans to the benefits they have earned.
Those guys are the kings of logistics, picking up donations and enlisting the volunteers who come to sort
them from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday
through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 3
p.m. Saturdays. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in

WShopping
consider it (and its siblings,
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids in the Backâ&#x20AC;? and
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids in the Back IIâ&#x20AC;?)
for holiday giving, or
receiving.
But Powers does believe
in shopping as a deliberate
choice, rather than a Pavlovian response. He likes
the way Go Local and Shift
Happens have been encouraging that, and he came up
with an idea to add to that
work: He has enlisted five
musical acts to perform at
five downtown stores on
Black Friday afternoon.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each set will be three
or four songs, 15 minutes,â&#x20AC;?
he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want it to work
like a flash mob dance. I
want people to stand there
and engage with the music
and art, and then get on
with their shopping.â&#x20AC;?
Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paired the acts
with stores that suit their
styles.
At 1 p.m., Olivia Joy
Hustoft and Jenny Snipstead will start the event
at Learning Sprout Toys
at 809 Pacific Ave. Their
ukulele sweetness is perfect for kids and their families, Powers said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to find something for the toy store that
is playful and gentle and
warm, something a kid can
stand around and engage
in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a great
fit.â&#x20AC;?
And then it will be over,

and Powers will be setting
up for some 2 p.m. hip hop
for UrbanXchangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target
audience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people from
middle school-age to about
30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at 1932 Pacific Ave.
At 3 p.m. Goldfinch,
one of Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestknown bands, will bring
their acoustic sound to
Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Books at 218 St.
Helens Ave. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be music
for people browsing for
the newest Kate Atkinson
novel, or perhaps a copy
of Ken Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Langata
Rules: Pirates at Lat 10.â&#x20AC;?
By 4 p.m. Apartment Lights will be aptly
matched with Millesime
Designs at 743 Broadway.
Q Dot will emcee at
5 p.m. at hipster Feather
& Oar at 759 Market St.
He will have to work it to
keep Chloe, the new store
puppy, from stealing all the
attention.
Powers thinks the music
will bring customers to the
stores. It would bring him.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Incentivized programming works for me,â&#x20AC;? he
said.
And incentives will
help change old mall habits by introducing people
to attractive, homemade,
home-run alternatives in
a fun and spunky downtown. Powers is pretty sure
the people who come for
the music will stay for the
food then meander to more
shops to put their money
into the local economy.
With this event, your buck
stops here and stays here.
Speaking of bucks,
the Black Friday event
cost organizers just under
$100, the amount Embellish Salon owner Patricia
Lecy-Davis spent on the
posters. All the musicians
and Powers are volunteering their time and talents.
And, Powers added,
heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back downtown
the next day for Small
Business Saturday.
The new Tacoma shopping scene is too big to fit
into one day of fun.

octor Who will celebrate its 50th anniversary of adventures through time
and space Nov. 23 with “The Day of
the Doctor” on BBC America – and
at 3-D theater events and a festival at Seattle’s EMP.
It will be an intergalactic mash-up of Daleks, Companions, the Tardis, fezzes, Captain Jack, Weeping
Angels and Sonic Screwdrivers, plus the impossible
appearance of three doctors at the same time. And
everybody lives.
If you understood any of the above paragraph,
you’re a Whovian, and we have a treat for you on this
page and on our website at www.tacomaweekly.com.
Tacoma Weekly’s owl-eyed journalists spotted
the Tardis at Metro Parks Tacoma’s Ferry Park. It’s
disguised as an informational kiosk, and it’s black
instead of police box-blue. But it got us digging into
the history of the park, Tacoma’s first, donated by
Col. Clinton P. Ferry. Ferry and his too-lovely wife
Evelyn.
Ferry, the grandson of one of Napoleon’s soldiers,
was born in Indiana and moved west for adventure. He
found it as a telegrapher, trader, aide to the territorial
governor, lumber mill worker, broker and the land
speculator who spurred development of Tacoma. He
dubbed himself “The Duke of Tacoma” and made no
secret of his vast earnings.
He was a jealous man married to a beautiful
woman, the former Evelyn Trafton. Together, they
also donated Tacoma’s first international love
scandal. He represented Tacoma at the Paris Exposition of 1889, and brought his lovely wife with him.

HUZZAH! Tacoma Whovians cheer Col. Clinton P. Ferry for donating the city’s first park.
While he attended to his mission, she was attended
to by the suave and handsome Henri LeClerc.
Col. Ferry suspected them of having an affair
and attempted to have the two arrested and his wife
sent to a prison for disgraced women.
The charges did not stick, but the ensuing divorce did.
On top of that, their story has been passed down
incorrectly, starring a mysterious woman named
Cynthia.
It’s all a mystery, a ripping tale begging for the
space-time intrusions of The Doctor.
So we combined that historic tale with a pop-culture
story, and invited Tacoma’s Whovians to star in it.

Metro Parks Tacoma declined to let us illustrate this
story at Ferry Park unless we formed a movie company
and bought an insurance policy, but Bellarmine Preparatory School graciously allowed us to shoot the first
scene on its campus. The Knights of Pythias invited us
to their Temple for the interiors.
Everyone had a grand time.
As The Eleventh Doctor might say: “Newspapers
are cool.”
Yes. Newspapers are cool.
Allons-y!

FERRY PARK, TACOMA, MAY 14, 1883
Colonel Ferry!
Colonel Ferry!

Ferry? Ferry? Why does the Tardis say Ferry?
It should say Police Box.

Yeah? Well I’m the Lord of Time.
If the Titanic were already built, it would
be a metaphor for this marriage.

I am The Doctor.

Beautiful cities have boulevards and parks, and
I own this division of what will be a beautiful
city. That is why I and my wife, Evelyn, are proud
to set this land aside as Tacoma’s first park.

I prefer the term ‘Duke.’ I am
The Duke of Tacoma.

a much better option than the malls on
Black Friday. At 8 p.m. Nov. 29 at Louie
G’s in Fife, the curtain goes up for “Evening of Keys,” and all-ages night dedicated
to the almighty keyboard featuring nine of
our area’s most accomplished performers,
and some surprise special guests. Rock,
blues, pop, jazz and more genres will be
showcased, representing styles as varied
as the performer line-up, which consists of
more keyboardists than ever for this, the
ninth show in the series. Headlining will
be keyboard god Brooke Lizotte and jazz
singer/pianist Krista Haugland, who’s flying
in from Iowa to play this show.
Maurice
the
Fish Records CEO
and keyboard player/singer Raymond
Hayden
(Nolan
Garrett Band, MonHAYDEN
sters in the Dark)
has been the producer of “Evening of Keys”
since it first started back in the days of the
Mandolin Café. He consistently brings in

new talent to keep the show fresh, built
upon a core group of four players, including
himself, that returns each time.
“I want to make each one a little different than last one,” Hayden said. “I do
this in two ways: keep the core players that
started it – Anthony Ciarochi, Doug Skoog,
Mark Bittler and me – and to also bring new
blood to the table.”
Hayden is working to build up the whole
presentation of this one-of-a-kind event,
which this year will include a detailed printed program for the audience and a camera
strategically placed so that the audience can
see the player’s hands as they play. This is
also the first time “Evening of Keys” will
be held on a weekend.
One thing that hasn’t changed, though,
is the admission price - $10 for nine topnotch performers. “That’s like $1.10 a performer,” Hayden said. “I want to put on a
show and give people a real bang for their
buck. Every single one of the payers on this
bill is known in the music industry. Every
one of us is out there doing it…”
Lizotte comes from a long history of
international touring, major film and television work, and working with some of
music’s top names, like Jennifer Hudson
and Leona Lewis, Randy Meissner (The
Eagles), Bob Marley and the Wailers, The

Ohio Players, Bootsy Collins, Lou Reed,
Nick Lowe, The Tubes and many more.
Local music fans are loving his Monday
nights at Stonegate Pizza with rock and
blues guitar phenom Rafael Tranquilino.
“I was tickled when Ray (Hayden) asked
me to headline this next ‘Evening of Keys,’”
Lizotte said. “Everyone in the lineup are
really great players – not a bad apple in the
group.”
As far as what Lizotte plans to play that
night, he’s got something special in mind.
“This time around I’m working on a bunch
of new material so I’ll use it as a sounding
board for my new stuff. I’m excited about
that.”
Joining headliners Lizotte and Haugland
for “Evening of Keys” will be:
Doug Skoog
(Blues Redemption) – Skoog
received perhaps the biggest
compliment ever
when the legSKOOG
endary Chuck
Berry stopped his show to feature Skoog on
keys and said of him, “This player is from
my alma mater!” His soulful, funky playing
is as technically challenging as it delightful
to hear, earning him numerous blues nomi-

nations and awards from the Washington
Blues Society including Best Piano Keys,
Best Male Vocalist, Best Blues Album, Best
Blues Band and Best New Blues Band.
Jonathon Sindelman – This northwestbased musician and composer is among the
region’s most sought-after keyboardists in
contemporary music. He has studied under
and worked with Philip Glass, Krzysztof
Penderecki and George Crumb. He currently works with the Seattle-based White
(Alan White of Yes, John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band), six-string electric violinist
Geoffrey Castle and Rising (internationally
acclaimed tribute to Ronnie James Dio),
among others.
Mark Bittler (Bump Kitchen) – Soul
and funk are Bittler’s calling cards. When
most radio stations were playing “Disco
Duck,” this composer, musician, on-air talent and producer was on the air at KNPT
radio in Newport, Ore., playing Bootsy
Collins.
Gabe McPherson
(Solo, Doxology) – In
a professional entertainment career spanning
over 18 years, McPherson has worked on
almost every major stage
in the U.S. either as an
actor, musician, singer,
director, designer, comMCPHERSON
poser or producer. He is
a member of the band Doxology and has
shared the stage with artists including The
B-52s, Wyclef Jean, Hoobastank, 311, Garbage, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blake
Lewis and Snoop Dog.
Anthony Ciarochi (TinMan, Aury
Moore Band, Stoneage Thriller) – In addition to having been a featured songwriter
for CDBaby.com, Ciarochi has performed
with current and former members of Yes,
Heart, Bad Company, Blue Cheer, Nicolette Larson, The Dan Reed Network, The
Harry James Orchestra, Jimmie Rodgers,
Moby Grape, The Grassroots, Bighorn,
and others. His own original music project,
StoneAge Thriller (StoneAgeThriller.com),
specializes in Beatlesque power pop with a
classic early-70s feel.
Lee Gregory (Strangely
Alright) – In addition to being
keyboardist for power pop
band Strangely Alright, Gregory is also a studio owner
where he crafts electronic
music, a taste of which you’ll
hear at “Evening of Keys.”

S

eattle comedian Morgan Preston will bring his
Biggest Tour Ever Ever to Tacomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Point
Bar & Grill on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Normally, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d
just head south on I-5, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking a fairly roundabout
route as he guns for a Guinness World Record.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a record he kind of holds already. But, technically,
he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It gets confusing. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let him explain.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be the very first people ever to do a comedy
show in all 50 U.S. states,â&#x20AC;? he said, calling from the road.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The record exists under music, and there have been quite
a few people who have done â&#x20AC;Ś a concert in all 50 U.S.
states. So I sent in the application and everything, and they
approved it. We went out and did 50 shows, 50 states, in
50 days. But I asked them a question or something during
that time period and they said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, we messed up. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a
comedian. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no category for that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
What made this news even more frustrating was that
Preston and his crew may have actually risked death in
pursuit of the record last year. Hurricane Sandy was bearing down on the East Coast as they headed toward their gig
in Cambridge, Md.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was where the eye of the storm came over,â&#x20AC;?
Preston recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was our out. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 10
shows in, you realize that you have 40 more shows to do.
And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;My god, the United States is really large.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how large until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the middle of it
doing this.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I thought it was going to be our out. Nobody is
gonna call (B.S.) if you had to quit because of a hurricane.
And then the place where we were headed was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well,
we got generators. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just do it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So we did
it. We just drove into it.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We kind of lucked out because we had some inside
information. People were texting us, telling us when
bridges were gonna close and what was gonna happen. We
followed the National Guard, which were basically the only
people out. (Stuff) was flying around. We went in and did a
show as stuff was flying by the window, and we had a great
show. There were actually people there.â&#x20AC;?
Undaunted, Preston and his tour mates are back at it. The
Biggest Tour Ever Ever will also feature Andrew Ouellette,
Billy Anderson and Keith Walker with the laughs staring at
8 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance, and are available online
at www.brownpapertickets.com. For further details, call
(253) 927-7767 or visit NorthPointTacoma.com.

oe Rosati is no stranger to the local arts scene,
having been the principal actor in two independent
films shot in Tacoma â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Limboâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Perfect
Lifeâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the owner of the Shoboat, a short-lived music
venue that rocked Ruston a dozen years ago.
But now the Park City, Utah resident has returned to his
hometown wearing a different creative hat, that of seasoned
singer-songwriter. Rosati will headline the Spar Tavern
on Nov. 27 with songs from his elegant and introspective
new CD, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Candelabra Light,â&#x20AC;? a disc that was, in many
ways, two decades in the making.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the songs are older and done in a new way,â&#x20AC;?
said Rosati, 42, tracing some of the new material back to
Isaac Purrs, his band from 1991 to 1994. Purrs started to
fall apart after Rosati went off to Western Washington University, a situation that came to a head when the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead
singer quit the day before a scheduled recording session.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went ahead with the bass player and the drummer. I
didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really sing, and we just recorded the music,â&#x20AC;? Rosati
recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of sat on that music for about a year,
between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94 and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95, not really knowing what to do and
started writing my own lyrics.â&#x20AC;?
Some songs resurfaced on a solo CD that Rosati put
out in 1997. But, for the most part, his focus strayed from
writing music until â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Perfect Life,â&#x20AC;? an independent movie
that was written and directed by Tacoma filmmaker Chad
Ruin and released in 2011.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chad had written â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Perfect Lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; primarily listening to
the Cureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s album, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bloodflowers,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Rosati recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I
thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need music for this. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big fan of the Cure
and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of my style.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?
Rosati stars as a homeless man musing about the idyllic
life heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squandered. In one scene he starts singing an early
version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Ten,â&#x20AC;? one of the cuts from the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Candelabraâ&#x20AC;? CD. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score went on to win a gold medal at
the Park City Film Festival in 2012.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning that makes you feel good,â&#x20AC;? Rosati said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You
start thinking what else could I do?â&#x20AC;?
Perhaps a bigger boost to the singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence was
working with Tacoma singer-songwriter Ben Fuller, the

frontman for local rock outfit China Davis. Rosati moved
to Utah in 2010, but whenever he was in town the two
would jam in his momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining room; a chandelier hanging
there inspired his new albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title.
The duo was recording some cover songs Rosati intended to shop around to get gigs when Fuller suggested his
friend dust off some of his old originals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That first little
session we probably ended up with eight songs,â&#x20AC;? Fuller
recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Joe, you really have something here,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;
and I really started getting him excited about doing a good,
serious project.â&#x20AC;?
Fuller produced â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Candelabra Lightâ&#x20AC;? with an
emphasis on minimal, acoustic arrangements that allowed
Rosatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poignant lyrics to shine through.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;My philosophy is when people write songs that are
really personal you should try to strip them down as much
as you can so that people can get that,â&#x20AC;? Fuller said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really blown away by the subject matter that Joe
writes about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really a fan of that kind of
stuff, where people really dig deep into what life is. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
probably the main reason that I was drawn to working with
him on something.â&#x20AC;?
Many of the lyrics are inspired by Rosatiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative
struggles: going bankrupt with the Shoboat, struggling to
be recognized in the competitive world of film.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the people we see who have success, we
assume they had success in their 20s,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Rosati said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hit your 30s and early 40s and you just start going,
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, my life didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out that way. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going
to give up.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of where the theme of the music
came from, maybe to inspire hope for people who are a
little older to still go for whatever it is that makes them
tick.â&#x20AC;?

band will headline a 15-year reunion show at the New Frontier Lounge on
Nov. 22.

I

f you followed
local punk in the
‘90s, chances are
you remember Swelter.
The band formed in Puyallup in 1989, as Swelter
Cacklebush, shortened
its name and went on to
become one of the South
Sound’s most popular altrock acts.
The group disbanded 15 years ago, but its
imprint is still quite visible on the local hard rock
scene:
Mahnhammer,
the F---ing Eagles, CFA,
Argonaut and Mico de
Noche are among popular
bands that can trace their
lineage directly back to
Swelter.
“Mahnhammer is pretty
darn close to what Swelter
was towards the end – just
kind of brutal,” recalled
Micah Hembree, lead
screamer for both groups.
Laughing, he added, “The
only difference now is that
we know how to play our
instruments.”
Swelter’s refined musicianship will be on display, at eardrum-shredding
decibels, during a Nov. 22
reunion show at Tacoma’s
New Frontier Lounge.
“We’re not planning on
doing anything else after
this,” Hembree said. “This
is a one-time deal. You’ve
gotta be there, or it’s done
forever.”
Swelter Cacklebush
started with four friends
from South Hill: Hembree,
drummer Stuart Linkert,
guitarist Jason Harsin and
bassist Chad Baker. Hembree described the band’s
original sound as being
closer to power-pop; but
the aesthetic veered in a
more foreboding direction after Harsin left the
band and guitarists Jason
Deitrich and Dave Takata
joined up.
“We would set up house
parties, play in barns and
do all this great stuff,”
Hembree said. “And we
just started getting heavier
and heavier and heavier.
At the time, we were too
metal for the punk-rock
kids and too punk rock
for the metal kids. It was

an oddity, because people
still liked us.”
Swelter’s sound is captured on two albums: a selftitled debut disc that was
initially released in 1996
by local punk imprint Big
Enormous Records, and
an unnamed sophomore
album that almost didn’t
see the light of day. Relationships soured before
the second disc could be
released, but both albums
live on thanks to Bandcamp. You can find them
at tacoma-swelter.bandcamp.com.
“It was the beginning
of the end,” Hembree
said, recalling recording
sessions for the second
album.
“Just like with any
marriage, it’s bound to
happen. You get in a fight,
and sometimes it’s done.
We had been friends since
high school, and we had
spent enough time together
at that moment in time.”
But old wounds healed
over the years, and the

notion that Swelter needed to play a reunion show
became something of
a running joke. Then a
friend of the band, promoter Brian Skiffington,
finally talked them into
the New Frontier gig.
“It’s a true test of age
and humility,” Hembree
said. “I didn’t think some
of these people could be
in the same room together
any more.”
Providing support for
Swelter on Friday night
will be Bali Girls and
Negative Press. Music
starts after 9 p.m., and the
cover charge is $5; (253)

TREE LIGHTING
FESTIVITIES/SING-A-LONG
Ever want to know what it’s like
to be a T-bird or a Pink Lady, but
never quite felt cool enough to pull
it off? Well, now is your chance
to don those poodle skirts, grease
back those pompadours, and let your
inhibitions go for an afternoon where
you are the star! And remember
– “grease” is the word. From the
producers of the smash hit “Singa-long-a Sound of Music,” this fully
interactive screening of the favorite
film “Grease” is “the one that you
want!” The show host will lead a
vocal warm up, judge a costume
competition and show you how to
use your free goody bag. Then it’s
up to you – sit back and sing along
with John Travolta, Olivia NewtonJohn and the gang! It couldn’t be
easier... or more fun! Dressing up is
strongly encouraged and full audience participation essential. Immediately following the ticketed film, join
the festivities for the 68th Annual
Holiday Tree Lighting, which begins
at 5:30 p.m. in the Pantages Lobby.
Kick off the holidays by gathering for
carols and photos with Santa! The
Tree Lighting is a free community
event, open to the public. Tickets to

‘THE SANTALAND
DIARIES’
Tacoma Little Theatre in partnership
with The Changing Scene Theatre
Northwest, the Kitsap peninsula’s
only fringe theater, presents David
Sedaris’ irreverent holiday one-man
show “The Santaland Diaries,” about
a starving actor in New York City
who reluctantly takes a job as an elf
at Macy’s department store. In what
The New York Times calls “a delightfully thorny account of working as
a Yuletide elf at Macy’s,” the story
follows our hero, Crumpet, through a
maze of terrified children, outlandish
holiday shoppers, and drunken Santas. This production features Charlie
Birdsell as Crumpet, and is directed
by Pavlina Morris. For mature elves
ages 14+ due to strong language
and content. Two performances only:
Dec. 12 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are $12 and may be purchased
online at www.tacomalittletheatre.
com, or by calling the Box Office at
(253) 272-2281.
‘IT’S A WONDERFUL
LIFE’
Tacoma Little Theatre warms up the
holiday season with its stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s classic film
“It’s a Wonderful Life” by Anthony
Palermo. The saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small
town of Bedford Falls whose dreams
of escape and adventure have been
quashed by family obligation and
civic duty. George’s guardian angel
must descend on Christmas Eve to
save him from despair and to remind
him, by showing him what the world
would have been like had he never
been born, that his has been, after

all, a wonderful life. This production
is directed by Maria Valenzuela and
includes a cast of 25 local actors
including Dan Lysne (George Bailey),
Kirsten Deane (Mary Bailey), Gary
Spees (Clarence) and Tom Birkeland
(Mr. Potter). “It’s a Wonderful Life”
will run Friday, Nov. 29 until Sunday,
Dec. 22. Friday and Saturday showings are at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at
2 p.m. This show is recommended for
all ages. Tickets: $15-$22, available
at tacomalittletheatre.com.
‘DRIVING MISS DAISY’
After demolishing her brand new car,
Daisy Werthen, a rich, sharp-tongued
Jewish widow from Atlanta, reluctantly surrenders the driver’s seat to
Hoke Coleburn, a proud, soft-spoken
black man. At first, Hoke’s presence
in her life is met with disdain. But
over the course of 25 years, Hoke
becomes not only her chauffeur, but
against all odds, her best friend. The
place is the Deep South, the time
1948, just prior to the civil rights
movement. “Driving Miss Daisy”
tells the tale of an unlikely friendship
between two persons who come to
realize they have more in common
than they ever believed possible - and
that times and circumstances would
ever allow them to publicly admit.
The production runs Nov. 8-23 at The
Dukesbay Theater, located inside the
historic Merlino Art Center at 508
S. 6th Ave. All tickets are $15, and
include coffee and an assortment of
baked goods. The show runs Fridays
and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays
at 2 p.m., and Thurs., Nov. 21 at
7:30 p.m. Info: www.dukesbay.org.
IRISH CYLINDERS BY

Created almost 40 years ago, the
legendary “Irish Cylinders” by Dale
Chihuly are now on exhibition at

vessels, loosely categorized as St.
Patrick’s Day Cylinders, Irish Cylinders and the Ulysses Cylinders, which
were inspired by James Joyce’s masterpiece “Ulysses.” Minty and milky,
the Irish Cylinders feature glassdrawing pick-up techniques similar
to Chihuly’s more abstract Blanket Cylinders. The series was briefly
exhibited at the Benson Gallery in
Bridehampton, NY in the summer of
1976, but then placed in storage. The

complete series of Irish Cylinders
has been previously exhibited at the
Portland Art Museum in 1997. The
